"I know several gay Republicans. They vote on less government, tax cuts and security."
I too know several gay people. All of which are men though. Anyway you are right. All of them just want to feel safe from others, and the rest of their issues are just like my straight guy friends issues (most of which you already posted).
*Not one of them want to legalize gay marriage either*! They say they don't need it, and with their lifestyle most don't want the pressure or having to tell everyone they are gay. These are not closet gays either; they just don't want the marriage thing because what doors it will open. In other words they fear the real freaks out there who will want to marry more than 1 person, or their dog or something.
Does all of this go to say that Kerry is merely sucking up to the homosexual vote, because he is SO desperate!!!!!
